  2. Hohlraum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohlraum

    In radiation thermodynamics, a hohlraum (German: [ˈhoːlˌʁaʊ̯m] ⓘ; a non-specific German word for a "hollow space", "empty room", or "cavity") is a cavity whose walls are in radiative equilibrium with the radiant energy within the cavity.

  3. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    Some demonstration kits include conductive ground sheets which are laid on the workbench under the apparatus, and antistatic wrist straps the experimenter wears during the experiment, which are connected to a good ground. The electrometer measures charge with respect to ground, so it requires a connection to ground during use. [13]

  4. Boring (earth) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boring_(earth)

    Soft ground drilling can be undertaken using a rotary auger or wash boring techniques, while rock drilling often use methods such as NMLC which allow for recovery of a core of material which can be examined to determine the strength, degree of weathering, understanding of any how intact the rock is and identify any discontinuities or other ...

  5. Hollow Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth

    The Hollow Earth is an obsolete concept proposing that the planet Earth is entirely hollow or contains a substantial interior space. Notably suggested by Edmond Halley in the late 17th century, the notion was disproven, first tentatively by Pierre Bouguer in 1740, then definitively by Charles Hutton in his Schiehallion experiment around 1774.

  6. Waveguide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveguide

    Much of the Rad Lab work concentrated on finding lumped element models of waveguide structures so that components in waveguide could be analysed with standard circuit theory. Hans Bethe was also briefly at Rad Lab, but while there he produced his small aperture theory which proved important for waveguide cavity filters, first developed at Rad ...

  7. Telluric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_current

    In industrial prospecting activity that uses the telluric current method, electrodes are properly located on the ground to sense the voltage difference between locations caused by the oscillatory telluric currents. [7] [8] It is recognized that a low frequency window (LFW) exists when telluric currents pass through the Earth's substrata.

  8. Sputtering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputtering

    High-energy ions emitted from plasma thrusters sputter material off the surrounding test chamber, causing problems for ground testing of high-power thrusters. [ 1 ] In physics, sputtering is a phenomenon in which microscopic particles of a solid material are ejected from its surface, after the material is itself bombarded by energetic particles ...

  9. Geophysical survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geophysical_survey

    Detection and analysis of the geophysical signals forms the core of Geophysical signal processing. The magnetic and gravitational fields emanating from the Earth's interior hold essential information concerning seismic activities and the internal structure. Hence, detection and analysis of the electric and Magnetic fields is very crucial.
